Domineering Daming

Yan Mingtai also flattered Wei Zhongxian back then, but fortunately he "reined in the precipice", when Wei Zhongxian fell, although it was Zhu Xu's strength, it was also inseparable from the merits of Governor Yan, who stabbed Wei Zhongxian fiercely in the back.

Recently, Wei Zhongxian gained power, which made him quite uneasy. Hearing Huang Chengyuan's words, he said anxiously: "There are several piers in Shandong, Mr. Huang, tell me, should I send someone to watch over them?"

Huang Chengyuan's face changed slightly, and he said decisively: "Don't act rashly! The emperor's mind is unpredictable. If he feels that we are monitoring him, it will be counterproductive. We still have to wait for the order."

The courtiers generally had "awe" towards Zhu Xu, and Yan Mingtai was even more so. Hearing this, he subconsciously nodded, and immediately asked, "Then, will the emperor come to Jinan? Do we need to make any preparations in advance?"

Huang Chengyuan understood what Yan Mingtai meant, and it was nothing more than whitewashing the peace for the emperor to see. He nodded and said, "Well, I've already had someone do it, so you should also restrain it. There must be no troubles recently. If the emperor sees what he shouldn't see, you I'm going to be unlucky!"

Yan Mingtai understood, and after a pause, he said: "Then, the plan to suppress the bandits that was made years ago, is it still going on now?"

Although the governor's office is in charge of a province's military affairs, the suppression of bandits is inseparable from government affairs. If the governor is strong, the governor's office will become a deputy, especially if Yan Mingtai has a guilty conscience.

Huang Chengyuan can't be said to be strong, but he has a fierce side. Naturally, he wants to make some achievements when he is in charge of Shandong. Mobilize troops, proceed from east to west, one by one, we must completely wipe out all bandits, and then we will talk about other things."

Yan Mingtai nodded. He has been busy suppressing the bandits for the past few years, but the bandits are getting more and more suppressed. It's time for a heavy blow.

The two discussed for a while, and decided to stay the same and wait for Zhu Xu's order.

In the middle of the night, Mao Pijiang came out of the casino, and after losing the last bit of money, he became completely poor.

"Young master, do you want to turn over the book?"

Suddenly, an extremely seductive voice sounded from behind.

Chapter 617

Mao Pijiang was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look, and saw an extremely wretched man in his 20s, with mouse eyes and deer head, looking at him with a mean smile.

After all, Mao Bijiang still had reason, snorted coldly, and said with a flick of his sleeve: "Is this young master a person short of money? A joke!"

As he said that, he strode away with a rather chic and calm demeanor.

The man hurriedly stepped forward to stop Mao Pijiang, he laughed and said, "I know that you are not short of money, so I dare to lend you money, 100 taels, [-]% interest, return within ten days will not count as interest, how about it?"

Mao Pijiang paused slightly, sized up the mouse-eyed man with an extremely untrustworthy expression, and frowned, "It's really not interest?"

"Black and white!" The man said with a certain expression.

Mao Pijiang hesitated, firstly, he really had no money, and he didn't know how to go back, secondly, he was really unwilling to see Gu Hengbo.

His eyes flickered for a while, then he looked at the man and said, "Okay, just borrow 100 taels, and the interest will not be counted within ten days!"

"Okay, my lord, please, let's find a witness and make a written statement." The rogue-eyed man said.

Mao Pijiang was also worried about being hacked, so he naturally agreed.

Witnessed by Cao Huachun, the two signed a document, which is a bank note of Huitong Commercial Bank, which can be exchanged nationwide.

Mao Pijiang took the 100 taels of banknotes and thought about going to see Gu Hengbo directly, but after hearing the noise in the casino, he thought twice and went in anyway.

As soon as Mao Bijiang left, the man with mouse eyes and deer head whispered in Cao Huachun's ear: "Don't worry, this member, in less than half an hour, the 1000 taels of IOU will be yours."

Cao Huachun looked calm, looking at Mao Pijiang's back, his eyes flashed with anger.

He is aware of the extravagance and corruption of the scholastic class, but this is different. He is known as the "Four Great Masters" in Jiangnan, and he is a banner young man. If he hangs around a prostitute all day long, others will think And know!

Cao Huachun couldn't help but think of Zhu Xu. As the emperor, he would see less, and he would be the one who will suffer the most when he lies down.

Cao Huachun felt sorry for Zhu Xu unconsciously. He fought against this huge country at a young age and worked hard, but what he saw was such a picture in front of him!

He wandered in his heart for a while, but his face remained calm. He listened to the man's words, nodded and said: "Well, I should give you, not less."

Hearing this, the cunning man smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry, he will come again soon. There is a paragraph under this note, as long as it is exposed to the sun for a while, it will be revealed. You can do whatever you want."

Cao Huachun was expressionless, but he was still thinking about other things.

He can no longer control the capital. The key is that Shandong has exposed many problems. These problems are likely to create a rift between the emperor and the Ministry of Officials and the two ministers of the Ministry of Households. All harm but no benefit.

"I hope the emperor can deal with it safely..." Cao Huachun secretly said.

As the Chief Eunuch of the Supervisor of Rituals, no one is more sensitive to the court situation and the situation in the palace than him.With the step-by-step advancement of the "New Deal", the courtiers could not keep up with the emperor's pace without knowing it, and became a kind of "drag".

Cao Huachun was full of thoughts, and after a while, he walked over with a sullen face, looked at the man with rat eyes and deer head, and said nothing, as if he was still hesitating.

The man made a fuss on purpose for a while, then smiled and said, "Master, is it still the old rules?"

Mao Pijiang thought and thought, finally gritted his teeth and nodded, signed the IOU written by the man, and entered the casino with 100 taels.

Indeed, as the cunning man said, the IOUs for Pijiang Pijiang climbed from 100 taels to 500 taels and 1000 taels in a short time.

When Mao Bijiang came to borrow it again, the man with mouse eyes and deer head suddenly changed his face, and said in a neutral manner: "My lord, 1000 taels is already the limit I can borrow."

Mao Pijiang's eyes were already red, and he almost shouted: "A mere 1000 taels is not in my eyes at all! If you lend me another 100 taels, I will definitely be able to make money!"

Cao Huachun's expression was indifferent, he kept looking at Mao Pijiang, and shook his head secretly, this is still a noble scholar in the eyes of the world, not as good as an ordinary gambler.

"Young master, it's true that you can't borrow any more." The man said calmly, completely losing the enthusiasm he had before.

"Fart!" Mao Pijiang was furious immediately, rushed towards the man, and shouted: "You lied to me to lend you money before, but if you don't borrow it now, don't expect me to return your money!"

The mouse-eyed man with the deer head smiled coldly, and with a wave of his hand, two big men held Mao Pijiang in his arms. He slapped Mao Pijiang on the face with the IOU, and threatened sinisterly: "Our casino has never failed to accept you." If you dare not pay back the money, I will break your leg and throw it into the river!"

Mao Pijiang felt cold all over, and was so blocked that he couldn't speak.

"Throw it out!" The man looked at Mao Pijiang and sneered.

The two big men stopped Mao Pijiang and walked towards the door. Mao Pijiang was sweating coldly and dared not say a word.

"Member, your IOU." The man with rat eyes and a deer head handed the IOU to Cao Huachun with a flattering expression.

Cao Huachun took a look at it, put it in his arms, took out 50 taels of silver and handed it to him, and said calmly, "You don't need to ask me anything?"

The man was already happy after receiving the silver ticket, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand, I will disappear immediately and will never appear here again." 50 taels is a huge sum of money for him.

Cao Huachun left the casino expressionlessly and walked back to the restaurant.

Mao Pijiang ran for a while, stopped panting, looked behind with lingering fear, and said coldly: "Hmph, don't think about cheating me! My son will answer the sky now, you have the ability to catch up with Yingtian go!"

In Yingtian Mansion, the Mao family is also a big family, if someone really wants to chase after them, it may be just to ask for a beating.

Mao Bijiang walked for a while, then remembered that he didn't have any money on him, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still had to go to Gu Hengbo. He only knew her here, and besides, she had money. With his appearance and talent, he had no money to "borrow" question!

"Hengbo, Hengbo, I really want to see you, just meet me..."

Not long after, Mao Bijiang appeared in front of Gu Hengbo's door again, yelling loudly.

It was already dark now, so naturally there was a lot of scolding, but he didn't care, he just wanted to see Gu Hengbo.
